3rd Highland Park Ambassodors Cask Released

Gerry Tosh has picked his 3rd Ambassadors cask of Highland park following "the first two selected selling out in a matter of months". Not really difficult you would suspect considering the amount of places Maxxium sell too!

This time he has picked cask 9035 from 1974 and it has been bottled at cask strength of 44.8% ABV as a 33yo. Old Highland Park is always good and I will definitely try this if the opportunity arises. Although at £95.00 per 35cl it will probably be by the shot rather than the bottle!

Highland Park 15yo

Found this in the pub and thought I would give it a shot!

Nose: initially the caramel kicks in - then typical hp heather honey nose is there. Hints of the sea and and faint whiff of peat.

Taste: rich rounded bit of soft peat and a cracking orangey note. Quite thick mouthfeel with a little woodiness.

Finish: toffee notes and then some more fruity notes

Comment: not a bad dram - hp never is a bad dram - but nothing overly exciting, would rather save money and buy a 12yo.

Score: 85/100
